Former Vice President, Dr. Mahamudu Bawumia has extended support to an ailing polling station executive of the New Patriotic Party (NPP) in the Twifo Atti Mokwaa constituency of the Central Region.
The economist in a gesture of appreciation for the good works done by Bernard Bernard Mensah, a polling station officer in the constituency who is currently bedridden responded to an urgent call for help to undergo surgery by donating an amount of GHC 60,000 to Mr Mensah.
Mr Mensah had on the 21st of November, 2025, sent a message through the Twifo Atti Mokwaa Constituency Chairman that he needed additional financial assistance to undergo the procedure.
The donation was made through the NPP’s Central Regional Chairman, Mr Percy Dennis Quaicoe, the Regional Secretary, Mr Richard Takyi-Mensah, and the Regional Treasurer, Mr Francis Asare.
The Twifo Atti Mokwaa Chairman, Mr Roger Oscar Tetteh, and other party faithful were present during the donation.
Mr. Mensah suffered a severe electrical accident while fixing streetlights during the 2024 election campaign, a task he took on to improve visibility and security in his community.
His injuries required extensive medical care, leaving him and his family in a difficult situation.
Touched by his dedication and sacrifice, Dr. Bawumia made the financial donation to support his medical bills and recovery.
Dr Bawunia, who is seeking to lead the NPP into 2028, first responded by offering him GHC 100,000 to pay for his medical bills.
On 4th June 2025, Mr. Mensah received additional support of GHC 20,000 for his upkeep from Dr Bawumia when he paid him a visit.
